| | 7 | 1. //Introduction, notes and actions//: KL/All |
| | 8 | * **KL:** (Re)initiate contact with O.Ettlinger, G.Hicks to find support for starting SMILEI source simulations |
| | 9 | * **Done.** |
| | 10 | * **TSD:** Attempt some tutorial examples from VSIM |
| | 11 | * **Done.** |
| | 12 | * **JPo:** Provide TSD with the geometry of the present prototype Gabor lens |
| | 13 | * **Stands.** |
| | 14 | * **KL/RB**: Take a look at the Bingham et al paper on laser-driven accelerator for medicine |
| | 15 | * **Stands.** |
| | 16 | * **RB:** Introduce Titus to D. Spears and find the ISIS person to contact about access to VSim |
| | 17 | * **Stands.** |

| | 19 | 2. //Review of calculation of instability//: **RB** \\ |
| | 20 | No report this week. Need to revisit. |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | 3. //Updates on the particle generation//: **HT** \\ |
| | 23 | Just beginning to set up the SMILEI simulation. Waiting for info from George Hicks to get going on simulation. |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | Some issues to do with setting up an "ephemeral drive" so that jobs can be compiled locally and then submitted remotely. |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | 4. //Updates on the simulation of Gabor lens//: **TSD** \\ |
| | 28 | Now has access to SCARF, but not to the group that is allowed to run VSIM. So, still stalled re running examples. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | Is now trying to generate VSIM using ascii interface. Has now defined geometry based on CW drawing from last week. Needs advice now from David Spears. |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | Need to get permission to run on SCARF from relevant person from RAL. John Carry at TechX needs to be contacted to understand about buying a license. **CW** will make contact with David Spears. **TSD** will understand machine requirements. **RB** will find the relevant contact in ISIS. |
| | 33 | |
| | 34 | 5. //Discussion of next steps//: **All** \\ |
| | 35 | Need to get access to the relevant codes for particle production and VSIM. |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | AK asked whether SMILEI could also be used to study the plasm instabilities. **AK** will circulate documentation so that experts on plasma instability can judge whether SMILEI can be used instead of (or as well as) VSIM. |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | === Summary of actions: === |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | * **JPo**: Provide TSD with the geometry of the present prototype Gabor lens |
| | 42 | * **KL/RB**: Take a look at the Bingham et al paper on laser-driven accelerator for medicine |
| | 43 | * **CW**: Introduce Titus to D. Spears and find the ISIS person to contact about access to VSim |
| | 44 | * **TSD**: Advise on machine requirements for our use of VSIM |
| | 45 | * **RB**: Advise on VSIM contact in ISIS |
| | 46 | * **AK**: Circulate relevant documentation on SMILEI so that experts can judge whether the code can be used for instability simulation |
